The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Siblings**: Siblings are defined as individuals who share at least one biological or legal parent. This means they can be brothers or sisters who are born to the same mother, the same father, or both. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A**: Sons and daughters of the same parents - This is the definition of siblings. They are the offspring that share the same biological parents. - **Option B**: Individuals formed through asexual means - This is incorrect because asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of male and female gametes, thus cannot produce siblings. - **Option C**: Individuals from interspecific cross - This refers to hybrid offspring from different species, which is not applicable to the definition of siblings. - **Option D**: Mutants - Mutants are variations that arise due to changes in the genetic material, and they do not specifically refer to siblings. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Sons and Daughters of Same Parents**. This option accurately describes what siblings are.
